Happy Mothers Day

Today Mr. Bunny, the girls, our Frida pup and myself went for a hike. That was my wish for the day. To all of you that are mothers, have mothers, wish to be a mother or are just a woman making a difference to children (grown or small) I wish you a Happy Mothers Day. I hope that it was a day filled with joy for you, whether it was at a spa, in your bed or on a hiking trail. This post from Boston.com spoke to me today and I hope it speaks to you too. I felt blesses reading it and grinned because my girls already exhibit some of these qualities. There is something really valuable in getting a taste of "Hey you are doing alright" on Mothers Day and I will take it. Hope you find some too.

You accept you are living in a small town when

you go out with the kids to get dandelion heads or flowers (clue 1) and stop at a business at their suggestion (clue 2) and are told that it is fine. The icing on the acceptance is the owner coming out to talk to you, really find out your plans and being informed that: someone else stopped by for the greens just a couple days ago. (ding, ding, ding acceptance reached). The best part is the owner just being thrilled that people were going to get use of those weeds. He was so interested maybe he will start harvesting them for goodness? Maybe, I mean it is a small town! The best unmentioned detail in this story was how hard the kids were willing to work to find the best blossoms. Prior to this we were experiencing end of Spring Break bickering but heading out on one of moms adventures is good for the spirit I say. So do the girls, at least their action; teamwork, communication, giggling and the oldest who remembers not living in a small town being horrified. No bickering when we got home. Yeah. Also yesterday two peach trees, two apple trees, two pear trees and a plum tree hit the earth in front of my house. Lets hope they root well being so teeny tiny. My initial reaction was buying at Walmart would have been better but Mr. Bunny pointed out maybe they are grafted better. This is my first ride with fruit trees so we will see. It will be a few years before we see any fruit that is for sure. Our chicks are now little feathery chickens! The coop supplies are pretty much here and Mr. Bunny has a day off on Monday and the weather looks as though it will be frightful. Lets cross fingers for those chickens that they have a home soon. These are the times I wish I was *from* a small town. Oh well a couple more years and we will kind of sort if count. But after reading this link of free things to do in the city I find myself longing for awkward glares on the T. Must plan a trip soon. I need some urban replenishment, then home to play with chickens and weed. Also what is up with this new formatting thing? Don't think I like it!

Reflections of a me

(I really need to find the new cameras manual someone messed with the settings so it is SO slow and this date stamp thing is annoying).








So spring is here in the only way it knows how to be in new england, it snowed this past Sunday. Seriously it did, it didn't stick but it did snow.
Lately I have been so busy and it isn't exactly how I like things to be. The only reason I have time to write this now is because I don't have tape for a project I need. Way to figure that out after all the stores have closed miss smarty pants.
There has been volunteering, schlepping to Thing 1 to and from track, an anaphylactic reaction, a tonsil adenoid removal and a full course load.
This blog isn't the only neglected thing in my life, my house, my gpa and my where am I supposed to be now sense are in over drive because everything is being done half. You know? I know you do...
All that said I took a class I wasn't looking forward to and am pretty sure I got an awful grade but I learned a lot,
about me.
It made me think of where I want to be.
How far I have come.
What I need to do to get there. Wherever there ends up being.
And you know what?
I am excited.
There is no feeling of doing what needs to be done because it has to;
nope.
Life is good.
I am going to enjoy my glass of wine and not do anything tonight.
First thing tomorrow I will be out getting tape...

Pretty as a Picture

Welcome home!

Entry rug (or is it)

It is rainy and murky looking outside; the sky resembles that soupy early summer natural lake murk. You know what I mean.
I am home with Thing 2 and Thing 3 because they missed school again. Their tonsils are out of control huge and it is impacting sleep and causing a complete and total lack of it...
for all of us. Last night Mr. Bunny got kicked out of bed because there was no room with two sick girls curled up with mama.Thing 2's are coming out on her birthday eve, the third and we are waiting on getting Thing 3 (or Miss Tonsil Stone) in with the specialist soon as well.

Thing 1 is at a friend's house to work on a school project.

I need to write a paper... gah.

Anyway that blurry picture is from my new camera. It's really nice for the sixty bucks it cost. It is a Sanyo vpc-e2100 and obviously I need to read the instruction manual more but it is exciting to have more than my phone.

It really is!

My photo software was lost in the crash. Trying to upload this made me realize that.

Anyway, I tried to make a rug for the front entry, I was excited to use all these colors (dirt hiding) and preventing the slips and slides that occur whenever any moisture touches that tile. Seriously it is awful. But the stitches are super loose. I don't know if it will last. Right now I use a towel. Would it be better than a towel? Need to figure that out so I can frog it or finish.

What would you smart crafty folks do?

Life

I can't think of a good title so I'm calling it what it is.

Inundated with things from volunteering.

Got a new computer so caught up in school (well kind of ask me on Thursday...)

Had a blast on a trip to Webs, thrift store shopping and of course food at North Hampton Brewery with awesome, much needed company. If you go to North Hampton Brewery you *must* *must* try their black cat stout (if you are a beer drinker). I commented it tasted a bit like chocolate and imagine my surprise when I saw it was in chocolate cake for dessert. Instead I go cheesecake but that was to die for good too!

Been addicted to The Walking Dead.

Writing papers and reading.

Still without a camera so no pictures of my fabulous yarn yet. Maybe a cell phone picture later...

Heart with people I love, because that is where it belongs now.

Loving this A Pair and a Spare. I want to paint splatter denim in a bad, bad way now.

What are the things going on in your life?

Blog? Oh I have a blog...

Grr...
My computer is shot...
was shot.
We bought a cheap crappy one. Well Mr. Bunny did for me.
He had bought me a souped up Dell a year and a half ago.
grr.
Wait I already said that.
So no new DSLR camera,
no pictures.
This might be a huge part of why I am a crappy blogger.
If I didn't have bad luck I would have none.
Once I catch up on school I may have some creative projects to show.
Showing off happy...
